A Long Goodbye
I tried to ring you last night
Til the dialing tone died
You never did answer my calls
I'm still not sure why
I wasn't trying to change your mind
This lonely Joe has his back to the wall
We followed a fever
Like them broken tattoos
We etched beneath our skin
In those warm, sweaty bars
Dancing heart to heart
Oh, how I'd drift back there again
Do you remember
The heat of those long summer evenings?
The diamonds of heaven
Shining like the city lights
And I'm driving through these streets
Where we used to meet
I admit that it still tears me up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
Every boy had a girl
Who looked him in the eyes
Who ripped him to pieces
Cut him like a knife
Katie these wounds of mine
Still haven't healed
While the scars will remain here for life
I know next time I'll think twice
Do you remember
The heat of those long summer evenings?
The diamonds of heaven
Shining like the city lights
And I'm driving through these streets
Where we used to meet
I admit that it still tears me up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
The flames we burned
Turned to ashes and dust
Your words carry a sting
I must live with the ghosts
What kills me most
Is all that could've been
Do you remember
The heat of those long summer evenings?
The diamonds of heaven
Shining like the city lights
And I'm driving through these streets
Where we used to meet
I admit that it still tears me up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
Woah
Woah, right
Woah
Yeah
Woah
Til the dialing tone died
You never did answer my calls
I'm still not sure why
I wasn't trying to change your mind
This lonely Joe has his back to the wall
We followed a fever
Like them broken tattoos
We etched beneath our skin
In those warm, sweaty bars
Dancing heart to heart
Oh, how I'd drift back there again
Do you remember
The heat of those long summer evenings?
The diamonds of heaven
Shining like the city lights
And I'm driving through these streets
Where we used to meet
I admit that it still tears me up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
Every boy had a girl
Who looked him in the eyes
Who ripped him to pieces
Cut him like a knife
Katie these wounds of mine
Still haven't healed
While the scars will remain here for life
I know next time I'll think twice
Do you remember
The heat of those long summer evenings?
The diamonds of heaven
Shining like the city lights
And I'm driving through these streets
Where we used to meet
I admit that it still tears me up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
The flames we burned
Turned to ashes and dust
Your words carry a sting
I must live with the ghosts
What kills me most
Is all that could've been
Do you remember
The heat of those long summer evenings?
The diamonds of heaven
Shining like the city lights
And I'm driving through these streets
Where we used to meet
I admit that it still tears me up inside
I guess it was a long goodbye
Woah
Woah, right
Woah
Yeah
Woah
